Comics, Kickstarter, Dreams

Today I wrote up a Kickstarter campaign for trying to raise funds to print up all the comics & sell as big bundles. We’ll see if they approve it (my bottle opener keychain campaign about a year ago wasn’t approved). In the past month I’ve seen a couple friends get funding & some not get funding. It seems like most of the folks I know that ran successful projects were running ones that weren’t asking for a lot of money, it seems like $500 is where you generally get funds (which means 50 people paying $10 or 10 people paying $50) & that people going for the $2000 price point (which is what it costs to get a CD professionally manufactured & run some promotions on it) are less likely to get the funds. I kinda feel like the whole thing is a bunch of crap, but it seems to build excitement in a way that gets people to spend money & I can’t complain if money comes in.

In other comics news, I finally finished drawing the second issue of Vigilant (still need to scan it in & lay it out) & I spent a couple hours assembling some comics.

I also watched The Carpetbaggers & reviewed it for Finally Checking It Out including a full stream of the movie. The Carpetbaggers is the book/movie that Nevada Smith is a prequel to.

Last Night’s Dreams:
Arms come out from the control panel of the dashboard & pull the steering wheel to guide the car off of the bridge & into the river. I’m still holding onto the steering wheel as the car starts to sink & the hands grab my wrists. The hands look familiar. They’re definitely a women’s hands, but I can’t quite place them. The hands don’t feel cold, they don’t feel malignant, they don’t even seem forceful. They almost seem loving & lonely.

I’m fighting a demon & I don’t have the weapons to kill it. I do, mostly by luck, manage to knock it unconscious. I cut out its eyes, ears, & tongue & mail them out to foreign countries. Hopefully it’ll give the demon trouble tracking me down to kick my ass.

Yeah, it’s weird to me how people are excited about helping on Kickstarter in a way they wouldn’t be about pre-sales. I do think it’s an interesting idea for me personally where I could do something in the future where I would maybe use it to decide if a CD should have a physical version or not. If I generate $1000 (basically 100 pre-sales) then there will be a CD & if not it will be digital only. I haven’t done this yet, but I think it might be what I start doing.
